Chapter 66 The second game of the Eredivisie is coming!
In the last round of matches that just ended, there were two focus battles, one was Ajax's home game against rival Feyenoord, and the other was the top-ranked Alkmaar's away game against Eindhoven, the traditional Eredivisie powerhouse.

Unlike Ajax who beat Feyenoord at home, Alkmaar drew [-]-[-] with Eindhoven in the away game.

With this big victory at home, Ajax rose to fifth place in the ranking and narrowed the gap with AZ Alkmaar, who are at the top of the list.

They are very different now.

There are still [-] rounds left in this season. Ten is not an insurmountable gap. If Ajax can maintain the state of defeating Feyenoord, it is not impossible to re-enter the championship group.

This big victory was timely, like a heavy rain in the desert, greening the flowers and plants, making the desert alive and alive.

This big victory was like a pair of big hands, pushing away the dark clouds that covered Ajax's hearts, allowing them to see the sun and hope again.

During Chen Fan's training, he clearly felt that the atmosphere of the team was different from that of the previous few days. There were laughter and laughter in the training ground, and there were mutual laughter and fights.

Professional players are a group of people who live under strong pressure. Such an atmosphere in the team is conducive to them dissolving the pressure on them.

……

The success of the first show greatly boosted Chen Fan's confidence, and the Dutch media praised his performance.

However, a game can't explain anything at all. Chen Fan knows that to really conquer the opponent, the media, and the fans, he must maintain an excellent state for a long time.

Take his rival Van der Wiel, for example. After a poor performance during the winter break, the media criticized him fiercely and the fans booed him hugely.

Therefore, in the following training, Chen Fan was very involved and actively understood Basten's tactical intentions, hoping to integrate into the team's tactical system as soon as possible.

The first team rarely has technical training and spends most of their time on tactical drills, which is the biggest difference from the youth team.After the training, Chen Fan continued to practice basic skills.

Passing and receiving occupies a large proportion. Although passing and receiving is the most basic basic skill, anyone who can play can do it, but there is a big gap between players at different levels.

No matter what kind of pass the world’s top players face, they can stop the football firmly under their feet. However, when ordinary players receive long-distance or powerful passes, the football is often far away from them after receiving the ball. This is not conducive to handling the ball next, and even being directly intercepted by the opponent.

In the game, if it is a striker, it may miss an excellent chance to score, and if it is a defender, it is possible to give an assist to the opponent.

The seemingly simple pass and catch can distinguish players of different levels.

Chen Fan knew this deeply, so he spent a lot of time training these most basic basic skills to make up for his own shortcomings, hoping to catch up with or even surpass those teammates who had undergone rigorous training in the youth academy.

Regarding Chen Fan's extra training, Basten took a different attitude from David. He didn't send an assistant to help Chen Fan, but just dialed in a few words at the right time to pass on his own experience.

In reality, there is a world-class striker like Basten, and the virtual training system has systematic analysis and guidance. Chen Fan's basic skills are improving at a speed beyond people's imagination, and it can even be described as a thousand miles a day.

Chen Fan at this stage is undoubtedly full of fighting spirit. With the rapid improvement of his skills and his active comprehension of Basten's tactical requirements, he has gradually integrated into the team's tactical system.

Even, his wing attack has gradually become an important means of the team's offense!
What Dutch football pursues is a gorgeous offense. Basten knows this very well and spends a lot of time on the rehearsal of offensive tactics.

……

On February 21st and 22nd, the No.20 fourth round of the Eredivisie.

Ajax's game is scheduled for the 22nd, and they will continue to sit at home against Volendam.

Volendam is deep in the relegation zone, ranking last among all teams. Against such an opponent, Ajax will win both in terms of morale and strength.

According to the pre-match analysis of the Telegraph, there is no problem for Ajax at home to win. The only thing to watch is whether they can continue to win big.

Amsterdam Daily also expressed the same opinion, "Ajax ushered in a chance to win consecutively against the demoralized Volendam. I hope they will continue to bring us a hearty victory, or even a wild victory!"

Facing the one-sided opinion of the media, Basten even thought of the European Cup last summer. When everyone thought that the Netherlands, which stood out from the death group, could defeat Russia and enter the semi-finals, Russia gave the Netherlands a heavy blow.

It was an extremely painful memory, an extremely painful lesson learned.

Basten warned his players before the game: "We can't underestimate a relegation team. They can often burst out with amazing energy. No one can accept media interviews before the game. After the game, you can accept interviews however you want."

"We have no reason not to win at home. After the last game, so many fans were injured and hospitalized. You also went to the hospital to see them."

"For nothing else, just for those loyal fans, we must win the opponent at home!"

Basten's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the players, washing away the impetuousness in their hearts and calming them down.

At 21:07 on the evening of the 30st, the top-ranked Alkmaar challenged Hercule in an away game. After 10 and [-] minutes of fierce fighting, Alkmaar won the away game [-]-[-].

This invisibly put pressure on Ajax.

At 22:5 p.m. on the 3nd, the Amsterdam Arena was crowded with people. More than [-] home fans came to the scene to cheer for their team in a stadium that could seat more than [-] fans.

They hope that their team can achieve a hearty victory like the last game.

Compared with nearly 1000 Feyenoord fans in the previous game, Volendam only had less than [-] people. This is the difference between a small team and a big team.

There was no one on the green turf. After warming up, players from both sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations for the game.

Ajax fans hung morale-boosting banners in the stands:

"Keep going!"

"We are Ajax, we will always be the strongest contenders for the title!"

"Come on, Ajax!"

Behind the Ajax bench is the player's family area, and a young figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the wives.The young man was handsome, typical Asian, with a consistent confidence on his face.

This young man is Chen Fan's good friend Fang Jinyu.

He came to cheer for Chen Fan.

In the VIP seat, Ajax's high-level executives gathered. Sitting next to Ajax's general manager Rick van den Berg is still the beautiful figure.

Emily is still dressed casually, but her beauty and beauty cannot be concealed.

"Has Chen's new contract been signed?"

Emily asked in a low voice.

Rick Vandenberg nodded and said, "It was signed the day after the last match."

"How much do you pay him?"

"What else can I do? I can only meet his request, 150 million!"

"It's rare to see you being so straightforward, but he is indeed worth that much money."

"If he can continue to maintain the state of the last game, it will be worth the money!"

"You like him so much?"

"It's not that I'm optimistic about him, it's Basten who is optimistic about him. Basten put pressure on me that night. He hoped that I could sign a new contract with Chen earlier and not let the contract affect Chen's training and competition.

This is the first time Basten has put such pressure on me..."
